How Decision Fatigue Steals Your Capacity & Joy

19 minutes

Do you ever feel like your patience wears thin or your brain just can’t make one more decision? Maybe you start the day strong but end up frustrated, grabbing junk food, or zoning out on your phone by evening. You’re not alone. This might be decision fatigue quietly draining your capacity and joy.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we unpack why so many of us run out of energy for the things that matter most—and how small, intentional changes can bring back peace and focus. You’ll discover that what feels like a lack of willpower is often just too many choices... and how God invites us into a rhythm of rest and wisdom that frees us to live on mission with joy.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

The difference between lacking willpower and experiencing decision fatigue.

How to recognize the signs of decision fatigue in your daily life.

Why decision fatigue often derails your discipleship and mission efforts.

Simple ways to plan, rest, and partner with God to reduce decision fatigue each day.

From this episode:

"None of us are created with unlimited resources. But we do have a God who is unlimited and knows every task, conversation, or decision we will need to make each day. Ask God to guide you as you make changes to your schedule and reduce the fatigue that comes from poorly managed decisions."
